Non-Stop Spider-Man reached an abrupt end, but writer Joe Kelly is set to return to the wall-crawler's world for follow-up series, Savage Spider-Man! Launching in February, Gerardo Sandoval will be on art duties for a story Marvel Comics says will feature Spider-Man like you’ve never seen him.
The limited series will see Spider-Man evolve into a monstrous new being as he finds himself on a wild journey filled with horror, savage thrills, and self-discovery. Now, we can see his beastly new form in all its terrifying glory in two all-new variant covers by superstar artists Mark Bagley and Ron Lim.
"What happens when Spider-Man loses all those things that make him a hero - his heart, his spirit, his mind? What's left? That's where we are left after the Immaculatum and Zemo had their way with Spidey in Non-Stop: a Spider moving on anger and instinct," Kelly says. "This chapter of the saga takes us to these places with Peter... I just hope there's something left in there to pull him back out."
The "Man-Spider" version of Spider-Man was introduced in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, but later made the leap into the comic books when the hero gained his organic webbing (that didn't last). This version appears to be inspired by that, but is a little more spider than man this time around.
